These two jokers who are not interested in sharing their life with someone but were only interested in being on television. They were unwilling to make any compromises and just wanted to have a lavish wedding paid for by TV even when they knew in their hearts that this wasn't going to last after ABC stopped paying them. The format of the show doesn't give the foundation for a healthy relationship. When you have to pay someone to fall in love you better believe they will for the camera ha! This man said I love you to multiple women in the course of only weeks of dating them and now they are blaming their break up on distance when both of them knew fully well that was not the main factor. I think that after they took away the magic of television, planned activities, roses, excitement, adventure , alcohol, money, and the luxury being thrown at them he got bored and missed the magic of TV and what could have been with the other ladies. I wish them all the best and hope they go away and create authentic lives they can truly enjoy. These two need some serious therapy ✌🏾

Instead of looking for love, many go on bachelor shows for other reasons.

Let this be a message to the producers of the golden bachelor. The couple’s reasons for divorcing are very understandable because at this stage of life, most people want to be in a somewhat near proximity to their children and grandchildren. When the producers are selecting individuals to be part of the dating group, they should try to select the people from within a closer proximity to the golden bachelor.

And that frequent crying … he’s a phony. I think she was very much into him but not vice versa. Who knows? Maybe he did this all for the $$.

[@moniquemichelle7295]

Exactly! It’s so amazing that people don’t see this. He claimed to be a restauranteur, but that business closed down in the 80s. lol He’s a broke handyman. Nothing wrong with that, but she’s financially successful in finance. I think that’s why he picked her. If the reports are true he treated his ex like dirt. I’m glad she’s getting away. He’s a con man.

[@angelasmith257]

Spot on…that’s the same vibe I got !basically he wanted to use her but she wised up and kicked him to the curb👏🏻

[@Sarahxxxxxxx]

What a joke

[@PDGula-lk6dq]

Remember when Gary didn't even ask what Theresa's career was until the very end! That is one of the questions that's always asked at the beginning of a relationship!

[@sadie4289]

It’s sad it’s really very sad I’m wondering if they need more time before they got married. I met my sweet husband in September of 2018 and got married in December of 2018 and it’s a interracial marriage I’m Jamaican he’s a white man we are deeply in love with each other gets better each single day. Did you guys pray about it.

[@mb1969mb]

Reality tv at it’s worse. I am so glad I don’t take any of these shows seriously.

[@jennamcfarland9853]

My husband and I got married after 5 months of dating and we are celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary this weekend. It works if both people want it to work.

[@verlena7620]

I agree totally. Yes....they need more time. You don't know each other. 😢

[@jasonpigott972]

Interracial is it the 1950s ? Lmao 🤣 this was a fake relationship obviously for tv 📺

[@janamcfadden5204]

But I'm sure there weren't 25 other women in front of cameras and producers when you decided to marry after 3 months. There's a huge difference there. The bachelor "bubble" as they call it ends once the cameras and the luxurious dates and locations you have all those dates on go away. That's when you really get to know someone.

[@charlenebrownlow4677]

Hello, beautiful lady. How are you doing? 🌹🌹🌹🌹

The "runner up" is laughing her ass off knowing she dodged a bullet! 😂🤣😂

[@-aimee-]

Gas lighting……. so disappointing. As if divorce is all smiles & giggles at 70.

[@user-sc9lr6kz8t]

Really? They sure didn’t give this marriage a lot of thought.

[@AndrewWilliams-el3sf]

Hello, beautiful lady. How are you doing? 🌹🌹🌹

[@hdw1502]

We love each other and are happy with each other..that's why were getting a divorce...WHAT?

[@randinatkowitz2487]

Personally, I think they were rushed into getting married because ABC was broadcasting it live. However, I thought he should have chosen Leslie anyway!

[@karenhardie1132]

Leslie didn't have money

[@RStellaMeola]

Leslie dodged a bullet

[@prowolf633]

With any hope Leslie will be the Golden Bachelorette (it would be a way for the show to make it up to her)

[@latonyahunt5087]

They weren’t deep in love enough to move in together 🤨

Why are they holding hands

They should stop holding hands it’s giving creep

🤣🤣

[@lizthomas3443]

RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ellenlirio9039]

Leslie must have said, "I'll just take a little trip down to Costa Rica, eat some popcorn, while watching this fiasco"

[@dn5582]

I could have saved them a lot of time. Knew this wouldn’t last just didn’t realize it would be this fast. She probably figured out he is a hustler IMO.

[@nectardelgado3043]

Honestly, I’m not surprised. That wedding “show” was a joke. Didn’t they talk about where they were going to live?! And other very important things before? Matters that you talk about on the very first date. I never believed those tears. Making promises to each other without knowing the person fully? They seemed to be more interested and involved in the wedding “party” and her picking out the dress, honeymoon etc etc. I guess she got what she really wanted, the fancy wedding reception that she said she did not get with her first husband, which he had to leave right after due to military deployment. But she loved her husband, a good man. A long life she lived with him until he passed away. A huge expensive wedding reception does not guarantee a good marriage, or if you are really in love. She should remember her wedding with her Billy and be great full she had a very good husband, I’m sure, she has many good memories. I guess this bothers me because to see grown 73 year old people acting so foolishly.

[@diromag7448]

Didn’t the franchise also give them a honeymoon trip?

[@nectardelgado3043]

@@diromag7448 Yes, show paid for absolutely everything. Not to mention the good life they lived in the house while filming, good food and good wine. Lol

[@catrinahartz944]

Same with me. Not right. 😢

[@catrinahartz944]

​. Yes

[@PositiveMommaLife]

Glad she had a prenup! She’s smarter than I realized!

[@MARIEANDERSON-eq2ht]

4:20 They should have had a pre-nup with ABC: "If you get a divorce in under 5 years, you're paying us back for that wedding."

[@lorrainejennings7344]

Can't believe the marriage lasted this long. I was not a fan of Gerry. The show really promoted him as a person he never was. The women fell for this scam. Theresa is a very level-headed woman. Why she fell for him is a mystery. Also, most of the women were acting like teenagers over this loser.

[@martyward8997]

This was always a big joke..😅

[@user-cm3mp9xq5z]

All of South Carolina and New Jersey and they couldn't find a home, seriously??? That's a lot of real estate and lots of available homes.

[@v2807]

🤣🤣🤣 their “connection” never seemed real. He was exposed as a fake after filming was over. She is lucky to be free of him, but who knows if she was for real either?!

[@moniquemichelle7295]

Exactly! He’s a broke fraud!

[@carolgomes9545]

The family dynamics not working out.

He said he still loves this "person"

[@eovecka]

“We don’t have to give back the memories…” 🥴🤡 At first i thought this was just a sweet man (who wasn’t too bright frankly) but now i see him as a bullsh*t artist and i bet Theresa saw some bad signs and said IM OUT

[@rosiemetha1413]

I called it 😂 IT seem very fake JUST Sayn

[@lockbert99]

What a crock. "We love each other very much but we couldn't decide which house in which city to live in so now must divorce. But our love remains".

[@michaelfitzgerald38]

Wow, who could’ve seen that coming except for everybody.

[@catmom59328]

[@AndrewWilliams-el3sf]

Hello, beautiful lady. How are you doing?🌹🌹🌹

[@jennifernicholson8998]

If they are still in love, it really sounds ridiculous they are divorcing over not being able to find a place/state to agree to live. This really sounds unbelievable to me and makes me feel that this entire show and process is fake! They're telling people to make their marriages work, and 3 months into theirs they call it quits, wow, just WOW!

[@AndrewWilliams-el3sf]

Hello, beautiful lady. How are you doing? 🌹🌹🌹

If they really love each other, geography shouldn't be a deal breaker.

Did anyone ever believe that these shows are even true..?

[@marycollins1631]

I prefer educational TV, history, and documentaries. I'd rather volunteer for a worthy cause that benefits my community and country than waste my time watching the Batchler.

[@sarahlang2119]

Well 3 out of the last 4 Bachelors (I'm not counting Golden Bachelor) are still with their picks

[@janetjones5959]

I knew they wasn't going to last she was way too needy

[@firewarlockfirewarlock9725]

😂

[@lenorafranklin8137]

In my opinion, they were putting it on a little too thick, today. They both came off as great big phonies.

[@sharon6416]

He’s a liar and she i think is heartbroken but is putting up a good front. There is more to this than what they are saying. Can’t believe 2 mature people didn’t work out living arrangements before marriage. They were interested in NJ or South Carolina to live. I can’t see them remaining friends either. We’ll never know the real reason but they sure left the Golden Bachelor a permanent scar and a bunch of BS.

[@moniquemichelle7295]

Yup. He’s a broke handyman and she doesn’t want to sacrifice financially for him. He chose her for money. I’m glad she’s getting out.

[@hanlisaunderson7139]

Gheez this is a bit scary that even if you are 70+ you do not make great decissions.
